Hi folks!
 
Thanks to all who gave us helpful info. on assisting our wild little ferrets
to adjust to life with people.
 
To others, please try reading the post!  Our mail was flooded with letters
from people who had not read the info. posted and of course were no help at
all.  Thanks for trying.
 
We have placed a clock radio in the room with them to get them used to
people noise, the vet came by and checked their ears etc.. they have a
clean bill of health, other than minor symptoms of neglect that some TLC
and good food will fix right up.  They have managed to find themselves
names: The hob is Charlie Chomplin, (He favours the left thumb) Charlie is
a lovely dark sable hob with a liver nose & a white patch under his chin,
 
The lager jill is Ms.Britches, Britches is the same colours as her brother
except that she has little white patches on her hind knees,
 
The tiny jill is Dragonfly, She is smaller than the other 2 She is several
shades darker, so dark she is almost black, but obviously a rich dark brown,
(I didn't know brown could be so dark).  Her nose is the same colour as her
body, we named her Dragonfly because of the way she flits around when
startled.
 
They were on raw feed so there was no way to switch their food gradually
of course this means they have the runs, other than that, and the fact
that I'm running out of bandaids we're all fine.
